Chromatic confocal microscopy (CCM) is a pivotal optical technique that exploits the dispersion properties of lenses to encode depth information in different wavelengths, thereby enabling non-contact ...

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a microscopy technique widely used to investigate cells and tissues. Even though first biomedical applications based on QPI have been developed, both acquisition ...

“Diffractive and refractive optical elements have become an integral part of most high-resolution X-ray microscopes. However, they suffer from inherent chromatic aberration. This has to date ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

The illustration explains the physical foundations of the new method by showing a light path through the microscope from the light source (left), via condenser, specimen, objective and detector. The ...
